Answers your calls
Books your jobs
Keeps you in the loop
The call you just missed is ringing someone else. Your virtual receptionist answers your calls, 24/7.
Not voicemail, and not a phone tree. Real AI phone answering in a friendly Aussie voice: she holds a conversation, answers questions, and books it into your calendar — around the clock, no after-hours surcharge.
From $49 a month incl GST. First week free — 60 minutes of call time on us. No lock-in, cancel anytime.
These are our own measured calls — real ones, on a live Australian business line, between 30 July and 22 August 2026.
This is Verity — the face of Giday reception, and you can name yours whatever you like. Always on, never flustered, lovely to every caller, and never knocks off. Yours answers as part of your business — your greeting, your services, your calendar — and never pretends to be a person: every call opens on a recorded line, and if anyone asks, it says it's your virtual receptionist. No pretending, ever: we reckon the honesty is the whole point. Anyone who'd rather talk to a human gets patched straight through to you or leaves a priority message — no hold music, no "please call back during business hours", just a caller looked after. At 2pm or 2am.
Rings our own line — (02) 7501 0101. She'll answer exactly like your receptionist would. Opens a live chat with our own receptionist — same brain, text instead of voice. Or ring her on (02) 7501 0101.
Live in minutes. No setup fee. No lock-in. Divert is one dial code — and just as easy to undo.
Keep your number, your branding, your business. Send calls to Giday when you can't pick up, after hours, or all the time — one dial code, reversible any time.
"Giday, you've reached Smith Plumbing — Dave speaking, on a recorded line. How can I help you?" Never pretends to be a person, friendly as anything, and across your services and your hours.
Real availability, real bookings, an SMS confirmation to the customer — the job's in your phone before you're off the ladder. Everything else comes through as a message (with call transcripts on Steady and up).
The big human answering services charge $2.60–$4.00 a call just to take a message (their published rates, checked 24 August 2026) — booking your diary lives in a separate product metered at roughly $2.99 a minute, after-hours carries surcharges they don't publish, and setup fees run up to $99. Giday answers, quotes and books on one flat monthly plan — the 2am calls cost you nothing extra. Full working on the comparison page.
| Typical human service | Giday | |
|---|---|---|
| Average call | $3–4, message only | under $2 per included call — answered AND actioned |
| Booking a job in your diary | separate plan, ~$3/min + setup fee | included on every plan |
| After-hours | surcharge per call/minute | included, 24/7, no surcharge |
| Telemarketers & wrong numbers | billed like real calls | screened out |
| Setup | $0–$99 at the providers we checked | $0, live in minutes |
| Going over your plan | excess rates ABOVE the standard rate | capped — a big month is billed the cheaper way, as a bigger plan; two in a row are capped one plan up (your plan doesn't change) |
Month to month, no lock-in, no setup fee. And our promise: you'll never get hit with runaway overage on a busy month — run over on a one-off big month and we simply re-bill it the cheaper way, as a bigger plan, instead of gouging you. Two big months running are capped at one plan up, and we tell you before that happens.
Giday isn't a demo reel. The same engine has been answering the phone for a Brisbane locksmith since late July 2026 — we built it for our own businesses first. In the measured window from 30 July to 22 August 2026 it booked jobs straight into the calendar mid-call — typically 2.5 minutes from hello to booked — gave priced quotes over the phone from the approved price book, and relayed messages to the owner by text. 1 in 5 of its calls arrived outside business hours, 1 in 10 on a weekend, and call volume grew 24% across the window. Every booking in that measured window synced to the owner's job system and was confirmed by SMS. Callers who asked for a human were put straight through, quick questions got answered on the spot, and the telemarketers got screened out instead of becoming "messages" you pay to read. The full story lives on the virtual receptionist page.
